I'm not sure of what fossils were found in Antarctica from all
time periods, but I do know that there were a variety of plants and
animals there during the Mesozoic. Some of the animals that I will
list were found in Australia, which, at this time, was connected to
Antarctica and had the same kinds of fauna and flora, as well as
climate. Fossils of dinosaurs like Antarctopelta (an ankylosaur),
Antarctosaurus (a sauropod), Cryolophosaurus (a theropod), and
Leallynasaura (a small, herbivorous, bipedal dinosaur). There were
amphibians, including the 16 foot long Koolasuchus, that filled a
niche similar to modern crocodillians. In the shallow seas and/or
rivers there were also plesiosaurs.
The plants were adapted for a cool climate with cold winters,
and included conifers and ferns, as well as mosses and lichens.
